Provide Food and Meds to pets of homebound clients
Meals On Wheels West (MOWW) is proud to announce the launch of Miss
Lilly’s Pet Food Program which will provide pet food and vet care to the pets of
MOWW’s homebound clients. This is a community partnership between MOWW,
Miss Lilly’s Trading Company, Centinela Feed and Pet Supplies, Gamma
Plastics and First Care Animal Health.
RoseMary Regalbuto, President/CEO of Meals On Wheels West remarked, “Our new pet care program ensures that beloved pets are well nourished and eliminates the temptation for clients to share their Meals On Wheels West deliveries with their pets. This way everyone is well nourished. It is my understanding that seniors who have pets live 5% longer and enjoy a higher quality of life.”

Lilly’s Pet Food Program.Proceeds from the sales of her company’s cookies will provide funding needed for pets with special diets, vet visits and some medical needs of the client
’s pets.

Centinela Feed and Pet Supplies will provide bulk food to Meals On Wheels
West for distribution to appropriate clients.
